It was announced on Monday evening on the Öresund Bridge's website that due to a "track fault" there is "significantly reduced traffic" and only one train per hour is running in each direction over the bridge.
What it's really about is wear on the tracks that needs to be corrected. This means that traffic will be running over the bridge, but it will be at a much lower speed. And that means we need to thin out the traffic that runs during morning and afternoon rush hour, so that it doesn't get as crowded, says Trafikverket's press chief Bengt Olsson to TT.
Buses in "limited scope"
Skånetrafik also announces on its website that buses will replace trains "to a limited extent between Malmö Hyllie and Copenhagen H".
The reason for the limited number of buses is that "it's difficult to find drivers for all departures", according to Skånetrafik's press service.
As for rail traffic, it has so far been communicated that the traffic restrictions "apply until further notice and the given time prognosis may change".
April 22 at 12:00 is set as a preliminary end time, but Olsson doesn't know what applies on Monday evening.
"Longer travel time"
On Tuesday, Trafikverket is expected to get a clearer prognosis, he says.
Right now, they didn't have it because they discovered it so late.
This will surely cause problems for commuters?
There are several options to get across. Trains will be running, but of course, it will take a few minutes longer travel time.
Olsson urges commuters to keep an eye on the respective websites of the train companies to see "which traffic is running and when the departures are".
For it may be adjusted compared to what you're used to.
